1999 draft

Chris Terry

Mike Rucker

Hannibal Navies

Robert Daniel

Tony Booth

2000 draft

Rashard Anderson

Deon Grant

Leander Jordan

Alvin McKinley

Gillis Wilson

Jeno James

Lester Towns

Um, other than Rucker, I'm not seeing any great players from those two drafts. We had the awesome 2001 draft, so you can praise Seifert's '01 draft but not his drafting ability overall.

Steve Smith and Kris Jenkins were drafted during the Seifert regime, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, I agree. There wasn't a plethora of talent selected during those years. We didn't do particulary well in FA either. We did better acquiring talent during the Hurney-Fox years IMO.

These are the players already on the roster when Fox arrived:

Mike Rucker, Kris Jenkins, Mark Fields, Brentson Buckner, Dan Morgan, Mike Minter, Steve Smith, Mushin Muhammed, Brad Hoover, John Kasay, Todd Sauerbrun (love him or hate him he could kick the ball) and Nick Goings.

Are you saying that Ruckers, Jenkins, Fields, Buckners, Morgans, and Minters replacements are all better? Really

And while both Smith and Muhammed are still with the team, they are both 8 years older and don't have anyone behind them who can replace them. Unless you think Jarrett is going to break out any day now.

You, like everyone who has read the post have missed the point. Put simply, as the players Fox inherited when he took the job have been replaced with his and Hurney's picks, the team has got worse. Who's fault is it or is it simply poor coaching.

I got the point. And I agree to a point. The years we went to the playoffs were a combination of players from both regimes. Fox inherited some good players, but many of the players were acquired during the Fox-Hurney regime.

The panthers went to the SB his second year. They added Delhomme, Gross, Peppers, Whitherspoon and Davis (others as well but those were the most important).

Since then though, who have been the significant additions/replacements.

Deon grant was a good player when he was with us..

I'm saying your whole premise is Fail. :idea:

Prove it!

In Fox's first 4 years, the Panthers went to 7 playoff games, 2 NFC championship games and a Super Bowl and during that run, he had almost every single original player still on the roster.

In the past 4 years, the Panther's have been to only 1 playoff game. The difference between the first four years and the last 4 years is the roster.

You think that is a fail, fine. But prove your point with with an idea or thought.

Seriously dude...if you cant look at this roster and see the talent that is all up and down it then you really need to take Football 101. Talent is NOT the problem on this team.....IMO its coaching and the coaches schemes. We have Super Bowl talent, and bottom feeder coaching.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
